Question

4. Consider a heat engine based on the Stirling cycle. Pressure Vs Volume V2 Steps 1-2 and 3-4 are at constant temperature (1-2 at temperature TH and 3-4 at temperature To, and steps 4-1 and 2-3 are at constant volume (2-3 at volume V2, and 4-1 at volume V) a) Determine expressions for the heat and work in each step. b) Calculate an expression for the efficiency e of this heat engine as a function of TH TC, V2, Vi, the gas constant R, and the specific heat at constant volume Cv c) Compare the efficiency to that of a Carnot cycle. To keep things simple, assume the engine contains one mole of gas.
